The Course of the road has changed significantly since the 1960s, with the construction of several bypasses and relief roads.


In Hitchin, the road starts at a junction with the A505, and follows a relief road round the south of the town centre, before re-joining the course of the original route for a mile.

In Stevenage, the road takes two courses through the town - the first is a multiplex with the A1 round the new town to the junction at Langley Sidings. The second is a route through the town itself, following closely the route of the old Great North Road.
